Impact Of Usa Transferring State-of-the-art Javelin Infra-red-guided

I was wondering what will be impact on our armoured doctrine if india is able procure Javelin infra-red-guided anti-tank missiles ?

Under the Javelin deal, India and US would jointly produce the third-generation FGM-148 missile through transfer of technology (ToT) and jointly develop a fourth-generation missile that can successfully hit a target 2.5km away. The weapon uses fire and forget technology where the launcher locks on to the target via thermal image and guides the missile through infra-red technology without being in the line of sight.

i feel the main problem with baktar shikan is its wire guided , which is outdated and its not a top attack missile unlike javlin, what worries me is usa is doing full TOT india will be able to produce it en-mass ...

bulk of Indian armor, close to 70% is night blind . that includes the major T 72 fleet . arjun is nowhere to be seen. T 90s have well documented problems ranging from faulty sights to air con malfunctions

. indian military has a basic problem of poor weapon readiness and questionable maintenance regimen.

the IAF recently managed the feat of crashing the brand new C 130 super hercules .

One is the use of ATCOP LTS786P installed on some hundred upgraded tanks (AK&AZ) however i didnt study it much to see if its a viable protection against Javelins, but it has a warning system.

Second is use of tactics in absence of a certain fool proof counter measure. Recon is usually done before finding a soft spot or best ground to maneuver the assault, tanks rarely operate alone, they have mounted or mechanized infantry accompanying them and dismounted or screening infantry poses a threat to ambushes by ATGMs. PA infantry also carries enemy infantry locating radars, so that's helpful too. Its a combined arms warfare now. In a worst case scenario,Tactics can change in the real time battlefield too, when 2,3 tanks are hit in a surprise ambush, the commander can change priorities and direct fire towards eliminating the ATGM teams first then continuing towards the primary objective. its not a perfect world out there.

Its hard to imagine a scenario where 100 javelins are waiting for 100 AK to come towards them and get blasted, its not a video game.

There is also a threat of AH-64's hell-fires(when/If India acquires) for which PA needs accompanying SAM's for tanks or air cover.

Definitely, mobile SAMs are a must in today's combined arms warfare scenario. Especially with the emergence of attack helos. Speaking of which Pak Army needs its own gunships and helo missile platforms.

In an open battlefield ATGMs will most probably be mounted on APCs or Jeeps, so they would be easier to detect. The real threat of ATGMs is in urban warfare where it is easy to hide.

This is the flag of Islam, for you cannot separate the Muslim league from Islam. Many people misunderstand us when we talk of Islam, particularly our Hindu friends. When we say this flag is the flag of Islam, they think that we are introducing religion into politics, A FACT OF WHICH WE ARE PROUD. Islam gives us a complete code. It is not only a religion, but it contains laws, philosophy and politics. It contains everything that matters to a man from morning to night. When we talk of Islam, we take it as an all embracing word.

- Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (11th January 1938)

Let us go back to our holy book, the Quran. Let us revert to the Hadeeth and the the great traditions of Islam which have everything in them for our guidance if we correctly interpret them and follow our great Holy book, the Quran.

- Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (6th March 1946)

"It is my strong belief, that there is no ideology which is more democratic, enlightened and progressive than Islam."
